Biography
Craig Pittman, winner of state and national awards for his journalism, is a native Floridian. Born in Pensacola, he graduated from Troy State University in Alabama, where his muckraking work for the student paper prompted an agitated dean to label him "the most destructive force on campus." Since then he has covered a variety of beats and quite a few natural disasters, including hurricanes, wildfires and the Florida Legislature. Since 1998, he has written about environmental issues for the Tampa Bay Times. His first book, Paving Paradise: Florida's Vanishing Wetlands and the Failure of No Net Loss (co-written with Matthew Waite), won the Stetson Kennedy Award from the Florida Historical Society. His second, Manatee Insanity: Inside the War Over Florida's Most Famous Endangered Species , was named an “essential read” by the Florida Humanities Council. His new one, The Scent of Scandal: Greed, Betrayal, and the World's Most Beautiful Orchid, was called “irresistible” by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
